If you’re searching for Holmes Institute world ranking tables like QS or Times Higher Education, you won’t find an entry. Those lists focus on research-intensive universities that meet strict publication and data thresholds. Holmes is a TEQSA-registered private higher-education provider; quality is shown through national regulation, course accreditations and QILT student/graduate outcomes instead of league-table spots. Use the quick checks and tables below to judge fit for your course and city.
Does a “Holmes Institute ranking” exist on QS/THE?
Short answer: no.
QS only includes institutions that meet inclusion rules (breadth of programs across faculties, UG & PG levels, and research output). Non-university providers often sit outside this scope.
Times Higher Education ranks research-intensive universities and sets publication thresholds (e.g., ~1,000 relevant papers over five years). That excludes many teaching-focused private institutes.
So if you see a “Holmes Institute Australia ranking” claim on third-party sites, treat it as marketing unless it cites QS/THE or another recognised methodology.
What to use instead of world rankings for Holmes Institute
1) National registration & course accreditation

TEQSA provider status | Holmes is formally registered as a higher-education provider in Australia. | TEQSA National Register listing. |

2) QILT outcomes (evidence from national surveys)
QILT publishes comparable results for providers, including Holmes, on the ComparED site. In the 2024 Graduate Outcomes Survey (International), the table lists Holmes Institute with 44.9% full-time employment (95% CI 42.6–47.2) and a $53,500 median salary (95% CI $51,900–$55,200). Use this with caution by field and city, but it’s official.

How to Understand Holmes Institute Australia ranking position

What this means for your choice (next steps)
Pick your course first (e.g., BPA vs MPA; MIS vs MBA; Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood if you’re teacher-track), then judge approvals and QILT outcomes for that field.
Pick your city second—employers and part-time work vary by CBD. The campus guides cover transport and nearby roles.
Lock your intake on the university guide and courses guide, then use the transfer service if you need to switch campus or program without losing time.
